Moist Cornbread Recipe
When he annoys me I try really hard to focus on the things I love about him. It’s easier said than done, but I’m getting better with practice. When he does something that makes me feel loved I file away that gesture to remember another day.
I recently rambled off a bazillion things I had to get done in a short amount of time, including cleaning the house. He’s been working really long hours so I didn’t want to ask him for help. It’s something we normally do as a family, but lately I’ve just been doing it myself.
He loves this recipe for the Best Cornbread! And I love him, so I try to make things I know he looks forward to having for dinner after a long day at work. According to him, it’s the best he’s ever had! This cornbread goes best with a nice warm bowl of Vegetarian Chili. It also pairs nicely with a bowl of Vegetarian Beef Stew or Vegetarian Potato Corn Chowder!

What You’ll Need
1 1/4 cup Flour
1 cup Yellow Corn Meal
2/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 1/4 cup Milk
1/3 cup Canola Oil

How to Make the Best Cornbread
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8 x 8 pan with non-stick spray.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 cup yellow corn meal, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp baking powder.
Pour in 1 1/4 cup milk and 1/3 cup canola oil. Whisk together until well combined.
Transfer to prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-27 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
